I have read the article about the treatment of burns using burdock leaves with great interest, and have a few questions: The first of which is quite simply “What is B&W?” I am Swedish, and have never heard of this salve. I assume that it is a proprietary brand that can be found here and there on the North American Continent But Not Here. …or am I wrong? could you explain what it is, where one gets hold of it, or even better, what are the active ingredients, how it is composed, etc, so maybe I can either find an equivalent here in Sweden or make it myself. We have enormous amounts of splendid burdock and plantain here, and the idea of using them for wound treatment is both interesting and appealing, if I may use that word in conjunction with wounds.

How long will these dried leaves keep?

I have seen an extract of burdock root for sale on herbal remedies websites; is this any use? please can you let me know as much information on this plant and its uses as possible, or can you even direct me to sources of information?

I look forward to learning much more about this

yours sincerely,
